BiBliography
I was born in Western North Carolina on a farm in a small town called Sugar Hill. Growing up we raised beef cattle, fescue and orchard grass. I would always be mending fences, going to cattle sales or working outdoors with my grandfather. My mom and dad worked alot as I was a child. Most of my childhood was spent with my grandparents. They taught me how to do things "the old school way." This is probably the reason why people say that I should have grown up in the 50's or 60's. I attended McDowell County Schools and graduated from McDowell High School in 2003. During both middle school and high school I played basketball, soccer, and track.
Throughout school, I was the "musical jock". My life was consumed with sports, music and family. At one point, I chose sports over music, but that changed back the following year. My life hasn't really changed that much from when I was a child. I still love sports, music and family. My favorite love though is music. I truly enjoy helping others enhance their gifts as well as giving those that think they have no talent or can't sing a lick; allowing them to find their voice.
When I'm not consumed with music or school, I spend a lot of time with my family and trying to keep up with the most trendy things in music. If you have any good beats or hits you would like me to check out just let me know. I love all kinds of music.
